Fantastic Sam’s Hair Care Franchise

Fantastic Sam's is the largest full-service hair care franchise, with nearly 1,400 salons represented throughout 4 countries. Our full-service salons offer quality hair care services for the entire family, including cuts, perms and color. Being a full-service salon means our owners benefit from a wider range of revenue sources and a higher average ticket per customer than our competition. By catering to men, women and children, we do not limit our business to only one segment. Fantastic Sam's is proud to have its own line of professional hair care products, available only in our salons, thus creating an additional revenue opportunity for our owners.

We are seeking owners/investors who are interested in building a business, not buying a job, by developing multiple locations. We currently have single, 3, 5 and 10 unit developments available. The 10 unit agreements include exclusive territory and a reduced royalty advantage.

When you join the Fantastic Sam's family of franchisees, you will receive both local and national support through our on-going management training, educational programs and national conferences, as well as advertising and other benefits. Our on-going support focuses on those things that make a difference to the bottom line-recruiting and retention of stylists, training stylists to keep them up-to-date on the latest styles, trends and products, and marketing and product sales. No hair care experience is required.

Build a business, don't buy a job. Whether you are interested in developing a single salon or multiple salons, as an owner of a Fantastic Sams Hair Salon, each day you'll work on your business, not in your business. Using your skills in marketing, employee relations, and business management, you dictate the success of your salon or salons. This makes Fantastic Sams a great multi-unit ownership opportunity, because all of the activities performed by the owner can be easily leveraged across multiple locations.

Fantastic Sams is the largest full-service hair franchises. Our salons have earned a reputation for providing a full line of quality hair services, including cuts, perms and color, to the entire family.

We've been ranked in the top 45 of all franchises 4 years in a row and been ranked the #1 hair franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine in their Annual Franchise 500 rankings. We have also been recognized by Black Enterprise Magazine and Franchise Times as a top franchise opportunity. With such a strong and well-recognized brand, buying a Fantastic Sams franchise is simply a smart investment. No background or experience in the hair industry is required.
